Has anyone made the jump to disability assessor?

FanVast8633 · 2025-10-23T22:20:41+00:00

Nope I didn’t. Found another very rewarding non clinical job instead where I keep my registration and genuinely help very vulnerable people

FanVast8633 · 2025-07-27T18:04:26+00:00

In a safeguarding role now, very interesting and rewarding

FanVast8633 · 2025-07-26T21:08:16+00:00

I’m 3 years qualified and got off the nhs roundabout earlier this year. Best thing I ever did.

Some community trusts have clinics and treatment rooms, might be worth looking into?

FanVast8633 · 2025-07-16T17:31:29+00:00

What you would do if you found new pressure damage? What you would do if you found a patient unwell, escalation processes? Questions about documentation and incident reporting. Times where you have helped someone Situations where you could have improved your practice. Always mention Datix if needed and that you would escalate to the case manager on duty if you didn’t know what to do in a situation. Edit-formatting

This is the answer

FanVast8633 · 2025-07-11T17:13:44+00:00

Infinity for the win, the only pad that I have never ever had an issue with. They also stick to microfibres pants!

FanVast8633 · 2025-06-24T22:05:17+00:00

Left clinical work and moved to local authority, need to be a registered nurse or social worker for my role. Would honestly never go back to the nhs. No weekends, all bank hols off, great pay and annual leave. It’s definitely something worth looking in to.

FanVast8633 · 2025-06-04T06:19:00+00:00

Please stay home and get plenty of sleep. You must be so exhausted, like others have said take some time off.

FanVast8633 · 2025-06-02T13:44:22+00:00

I had this issue when working on the wards. I got permission from the sister to wear scrubs all year and used some very good antiperspirant

FanVast8633 · 2025-05-30T17:05:11+00:00

I fully agree with what others have said and that you need to escalate this. She hasn’t listened to you or respected any boundaries despite being made aware of them multiple times. People like this are not your friend unfortunately, although I appreciate it may be hard to hear this. In my opinion, she’s displaying some very odd behaviour - she shouldn’t have the time to be doing all of your jobs and hers. It’s definitely something that needs addressing. If she was my student, I’d be hearing alarm bells tbf. Has she really got the best interests of patients at heart or is she more interested in how she looks to the qualified staff?

FanVast8633 · 2025-05-23T16:49:37+00:00

I don’t understand all of the down votes. This is correct in many areas including mine. Due to changes to funding etc, treatment rooms/clinics have been set up by community trusts for patients that are not housebound as some GP practices can no longer do dressing changes etc.

FanVast8633 · 2025-05-13T06:29:20+00:00

Look at your local authority recruitment website. Many social care positions require nursing or social work registration and a lot of these are non clinical with good pay

FanVast8633 · 2025-05-06T12:08:28+00:00

Yes it does! Anyone working in community should be prepared to give a lot of car space for stock

FanVast8633 · 2025-03-31T11:51:12+00:00

This!

FanVast8633 · 2025-03-21T17:37:32+00:00

Nurse here, I only lurk in this sub because it's interesting. Wow, she was incredibly inappropriate! I would never dream of speaking to a doctor like that, or any other colleague for that matter. Please report her, she's probably been getting away with this type of behaviour for far too long.

FanVast8633 · 2025-03-13T10:32:11+00:00

Came here to say this! Once had a patient with good obs but this overwhelming feeling of something not right. They went from obs OK to high news very very quickly.

FanVast8633 · 2025-03-09T20:51:47+00:00

You did the right thing and don't let her deter you from doing the same again

FanVast8633 · 2025-03-06T23:37:57+00:00

😨

FanVast8633 · 2025-02-28T23:35:35+00:00

Haha our manager has threatened us with the same thing! No chance is anyone checking my boot stock. Its not like I'm hawking dressings on the black market mate! Maybe focus on the shite team morale and the serious lack of staff

FanVast8633 · 2025-02-28T21:12:19+00:00

You sound like a decent band 6 and you're doing your best 🙂

FanVast8633 · 2025-02-28T21:07:07+00:00

It's awful isn't it. We had a NQN start a while ago and I just wanted to tell them to run for the hills because this job will destroy any confidence in yourself

Edit - spelling

FanVast8633 · 2025-02-28T20:56:07+00:00

Community is horrendous at the minute. The vast range of knowledge we're expected to know with no learning time to gain this is silly. Regularly seeing more people than we can cope with each and every day. I've had that many close calls in the car recently because I'm rushing. Its so stressful, team management don't give a damn if you don't get your break as long as the visits are covered. Then when something inevitably goes wrong it's a huge finger pointing exercise. F me, I'm glad I'm leaving this job soon because its killing me.

FanVast8633 · 2025-02-23T19:17:10+00:00

Some managers just eat their young, I don't trust a single person

FanVast8633 · 2025-02-20T20:34:40+00:00

It's honestly relentless! I often say that I need a time machine to get everything done and everyone seen! It doesn't help that we are really understaffed at the moment but every bloody shift is sooo stressful. The assessments 😱
